Snowsports Industries America (SIA), the preeminent organization representing the winter outdoor industry, announced the launch of its Summit Series. The event signals a return to face-to-face gatherings and the desire to come together to tackle some of the most issues facing the industry.
Despite positive growth across winter sports last season, the SIA Summit Series comes at a time when the industry is looking for greater opportunities for collective problem-solving, sharing best practices and learning practical solutions.
The series of four events will bring leaders and professionals from the winter outdoor industry together with experts, game changers and trailblazers, in the form of dynamic workshops, vibrant discussions and engaging presentations.
Set against inspiring backdrops, the Summit Series kicks off Sept. 28 in Golden, Colo.; Nov. 2, in Boston; and Spring 2024 in Park City, Utah and Seattle. Events will feature sessions that focus on addressing and solving the most pressing industry issues, including:
- National and international standards and regulations
- Consumer trends and data
- Hiring and retention
- Participation growth
- Climate action planning
While the events are open to the entire winter outdoor industry, SIA members get special pricing at $99/person and $49 for each additional person from the same member company. Non-members are $249/person, and retailers are free.
Full details on all stops, including registration, location, and times, will be released in mid August on SIA’s website, snowsports.org.
